Today was the first day this fall that I put on all four of my winter essential clothes: hat, scarf, boots and gloves. It was the first day November has actually felt like November to me. Fall is over and winter is on its way. Fall is my favorite season but winter is my second favorite. And once most of the leaves are gone autumn isn’t as beautiful anymore. Bundling up in warm clothes and funny hats to step out in the brisk morning light can be very refreshing. However the cold weather without snow is frustrating. Cold weather, below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, makes the earth feel like it is dying. White frost covers the grass like the fingers of death. I’d also rather brush snow off my car then scrape off ice. As of right now I am excitedly anticipating winter.
Winter holds many fun activities for me. I have been skiing for the past four or so years and just managed to do jumps last year. I am also really excited to ice skate. I took ice skating lessons for over three years when I was younger and I have never stopped loving it. Also snow creates really good sledding hills which are a fun activity to do with friends. Snow also makes the cold ground look beautiful. Waking up to a crystal clean white world is one of the most wonderful sights in the world. Snow purifies the earth making a clean white slate for us to walk on.
